Freddie

My cousin Freddie passed away last night. He was born with Muscular Dystrophy and struggled with this disease his entire life...as did his family. There is great sorrow amongst his family today as well as the reminder that 10 men and boys in our family suffer or have suffered from this painful, debilitating sickness. I feel as though I have no right to even mention their suffering because in God's providence my brothers and nephews and son have been spared this malady....but I have observed and witnessed the agony, the sadness and fear that my grandmother, my Aunt Barbara, my Aunt Linda, Cousin Pam, Cousin Mary Jo, Cousin Angie and Cousin Jenny have lived with in having sons with Muscular Dystrophy. Today I offer my love and prayers for them all..that God would give them comfort, peace, understanding and insight in the middle of their grief and that they would be knitted together in their love for one another.
